HOBOnet Wireless Temp/RH Sensor

SKU: RXW-THC-921

The HOBOnet Wireless Temperature and Relative Humidity Sensor provides a cost-effective and scalable solution for web-enabled monitoring of air temperature and humidity. HOBOnet Wireless Sensors communicate data directly to the RX Station or pass data through other wireless sensors back to the central station.

Description

The HOBOnet Wireless Temperature and Relative Humidity Sensor provides a cost-effective and scalable solution for web-enabled monitoring of air temperature and humidity. HOBOnet Wireless Sensors communicate data directly to the RX Station or pass data through other wireless sensors back to the central station. They are preconfigured and ready to deploy, and data is accessed through HOBOlink, Onset’s innovative cloud-based software platform.

Highlighted Features

  • High accuracy: ± 0.2°C (± 0.36°F) and ± 2.5% RH
  • Robust RH sensor withstands extended use in high-humidity environments
  • 900 MHz wireless mesh self-healing technology
  • 450 to 600 meter (1,500 to 2,000 feet) wireless range and up to five hops
  • Up to 50 wireless sensors per RX Station
  • Simple button-push to join the HOBOnet wireless network
  • Onboard memory to ensure no data loss
  • Powered by 2 user-replaceable lithium AA batteries

In what environment does this sensor operate?

This sensor operates in an indoor environment.

What measurements does this sensor support?

The RXW-THC-B-921 sensor supports the following measurements: Dew Point, Relative Humidity and Temperature

Important Info:

A complete system requires at least one HOBO RX Remote Monitoring Station, a HOBOnet Wireless Manager (RXMOD-RXW-921), and a HOBOnet Wireless Sensor. HOBOnet Wireless Repeaters (RX-RPTR-921) can be added to extend the range.

Sensor

.

Temperature Measurement Range

-40°C to 75°C

Temperature Accuracy

±0.25°C from -40° to 0°C
±0.20°C from 0° to 70°C
±0.25°C from 70° to 100°C

Temperature Resolution

0.02°C

Temperature Drift

<0.01°C per year

Temperature Response Time (typical, to 90% of change)

3 minutes, 45 seconds in air moving 1 m/s

RH Measurement Range

0–100% RH at -40° to 75°C; exposure to conditions below -20°C or above 95% RH may temporarily increase the maximum RH sensor error by an additional 1%
